Bacon Pancake Dippers Are For Everyone Who Loves Sweet And Salty

Breakfast is always a serious struggle. Savory or sweet? It's an age-old question that just got a whole lot easier, thanks to bacon-pancake dippers.

This isn't the first recipe for making them, but it is the smartest. All the instructions I read through called for pouring batter onto full strips of bacon in the pan. It technically works, but the results were less than stellar. The pancakes turned out blobby and way too big, making maple syrup dunking awkward. Plus, the bacon distribution was off.

Our fix: dredge bacon halves in the batter then cook 'em like you would a regular shortstack. They look a lot sillier than your traditional silver dollar rounds, but they're BACON-FILLED! And eating with your hands is always way more fun.

WARNING: If you practice any OCD eating tendencies (like keeping food nearly separated and or eating each component of a meal one … at… a… time), these sweet and smoky strips are your worst nightmare. We respect your eating habits and also appreciate the extras we'll get to dunk in maple syrup.
